i just had an old tatoo covered up with a new tatoo. they will have you fill out the paperwork, on it asks if you are hiv+. i talked to the guy that was going to be doing my tatoo before i even filled out the paperwork about my status. he told me that he did not have a problem with it, that it really is upto the person doing the tatoo, but they use universal procautions, so it would be fine. i dont think you will have an issue with getting one done..... good luck with it. i took my girlfriend to get her very first one for her 41st birthday and decided it was time to have one covered. i got daisies going all the way around my right ankle. i also have a daisy on my left foot. daisey
